Ideal Implant Awaiting FDA Approval
You are correct, the IDEAL implant is still awaiting FDA approval.

When Will IDEAL Brand Implant Be Out?
"This year or 10 years" is about as accurate an answer as there is. Their timing is their own, and they will not comment. Typically the companies are told by the FDA not to comment, although they are just as much in the dark as anyone else is. The two major US manufacturers have products ready to ship, with studies completed and submitted several years ago, and no one knows when.
All I can say is when they are out you will know.
Thanks and best wishes.
